This encodes your URI structure into your `add_breadcrumb` call
*sequence* as well as the chain structure, though. If you leave
the job all to `uri_for_action` you can shuffle things around and
the breadcrumb links will continue to be correct with no extra
work. I doesn’t happen a lot, but I was glad for the magic each
time it did. It doesn’t cause much redundancy either, you just
have to pass a few ID values a few times extra.
